The Galápagos IslandsThe Galápagos are a group of volcanic islands in the Pacific Ocean near the west coast of Ecuador, in South America.
Cut off from the mainland, the islands are home to a diverse, often unique, range of animal and plant species.
The islands were made famous by Charles Darwin’s scientific studies and are now a protected World Heritage Site.
